    Minnesota,Wisconsin, Iowa , North and South Dakota don't require a helmet if you have a MC licsense and over 21 I think is the age.

    It was beautiful out today!!! Took my bike and went for a nice ride myself. I didn't want to go back home. It makes me not want winter to come at all and normally I'm for the snow but I'll miss going out riding almost everyday after work. What do you do, that's Minnesota for you.

    Living in Minnesota you have to find a way to enjoy snow and cold. That is why I cross country ski ,gets me outside and keeps me somewhat fit.

    For all you guys who got to enjoy a nice ride in beautiful weather today I had to work in that flea bitting house and found drug stuff, small old pool of blood in the back yard and the joyful smell of human waist on carpets. :cussing: But tomorrow is another day and I'll be riding to. :)

    Oh the joys of being a home inspector.

    I can't imagine having to grow up in that environment. Those poor children!! Those are the people that shouldn't be able to have such precious gifts in life. I've watched a show before on some of the things that occur when children are involved in these situations and what the houses look like and OMG, I don't know if I was more angry or sad. It is amazing how the addiction to that crap can mess up your world.

    I remember when I was pregnant with my first daughter, I had a in home public nurse come and see me once a month to make sure my pregnancy was going good. Anyways we got talking about the drug activity that was happening amongst some of the pregnant teens in my town and she had this one girl that said that she could video tape her when she was high and that way she could see that how she took care of her child was no different than when she wasn't high. To her surprise when she watched the video she found out she didn't do a very good job, she was forgetting some of the scoops of formula in the bottle, she wasn't changing the baby when needed. It's unfortunate that some people just don't get it!!! :banghead:

    My wife does BPOs (Broker Price Opinion) for banks and other finical institutions, some of these place are just plain nasty, one time we took our Scotty dog with us he walked in the front door turned around and ran back outside that’s how nasty this one was, and it was in a very nice neighborhood to. I nearly always take my buddy S&W 357 with me, you never know what you might run into.

    Went out yesterday, was nice. Went out again today, had to bundle up a bit more. Should be ok tomorrow, but looking at the 10 day forecast, fall is running out and winter is fast approaching. I need to move somewhere warmer.
